Sir Alex Ferguson-Linked Horse Spirit Dancer Ready for Riyadh Challenge
Trainer Richard Fahey is gearing up his talented horse Spirit Dancer for a major challenge in Riyadh, with the legendary ex-Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in his corner.
The duo has found success together, culminating in Spirit Dancer’s impressive victory at the Bahrain International Trophy last year.
Following a solid warm-up in Dubai, Spirit Dancer is now set to compete in the lucrative Howden Neom Turf Cup, a race that Fahey describes as the ‘stuff of dreams’.
Fahey expressed his admiration for Ferguson’s influence and shared insights on the unique parallels between football and horse racing during their interactions.
The tranquil environment in Riyadh has provided the ideal setting for Spirit Dancer to settle in comfortably ahead of the big race weekend.
Fahey emphasized the joy and satisfaction that Spirit Dancer’s previous win brought to Ferguson and the team, highlighting the emotional connection and excitement it generated.
